I downloaded an AppImage (LogSeq to be precise) and wanted to add it to the dmenu.
With the help of a friend i did the following:
1. move AppImage to a appropriate directory (not required, but appears cleaner to me).
In this case i moved the
LogSeq.AppImage
to /home/[username]/.local/bin/LogSeq.AppImage
2. Create a .desktop
entry with the required fields in /usr/share/applications
-> logseq.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=LogSeq
GenericName=logseq
Exec=/home/[username]/.local/bin/LoqSeq.AppImage
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;
After removing ~/.cache/dmenu_run
to have dmenu rebuild it's cache, the app appears in the dmenu and i can run it. Cool!
However both in dmenu_run
as well as in the **dmenu** itself, the app appears as LogSeq.AppImage
not as logseq
as i had expected.
How can i rename it so that it appears e.g. as logseq
instead?
